Darci Lynne enticed me from the moment I saw her perform with her puppet Petunia on the first day of auditions. She uses her puppets and ventriloquism skills to help with her shyness. She got the golden buzzer from Mel B that sent her straight to the finals!

And last night, the 12-year-old stole the night with her unbelievable singing ventriloquist act, bringing her puppet, Petunia, back for a performance of “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)” with fellow ventriloquist Terry Fator, who won season 2 of America’s Got Talent.

Congrats to Darci Lynne and Angelica Hale, who was the runner up! You ladies should be very proud!
